Somehow the weekend managed to be both relaxing and exhausting. Though I promised ‘no housework, laundry, or yard work’ I ended up doing some of each. I dunno about you, but that last pair of clean undies (you know the ones you shove to the back of the drawer and never wear - unless you have no choice) is a great laundry-doing catalyst for me.
The yard work took place at the office. My uncle had a bike accident last week and broke his collar bone, he normally does the lawn work but for obvious reasons cannot, so I figured since I was here I’d take care of it. And house work was really just clearing a path so we could walk - har. Ok, not true, but trust me it was strictly ‘guy clean’ only.
Saturday was shot with work, errands and the birthday party. Sunday I worked on cutting out the things I wanted to sew (if I’ve never mentioned it - I hate cutting), made two bunnies and two bags. When given a choice of dinners, D elected to have our ‘cook out’ on Sunday, so much of the afternoon was spent in the kitchen. I know that sounds like work, but when I want to cook I really enjoy it. I made ‘confetti potato salad’ from a new recipe that was quite good and some of the best deviled eggs I’ve had in a long time*. Sadly, the rhubarb pie I promised D, did not turn out well. He said it tasted ‘rotten’, and after a comment like that I was not brave enough to taste it myself to figure out what I did wrong. If you have your grandmother’s famous rhubarb pie recipe (no strawberries, just rhubarb) and don’t mind sharing I’d love to see it.
Monday, with the exception of laundry, was the true day off. I dabbled here and there, watched The Great Escape with D, had leftovers for lunch, finished two more bags and two more bunnies, and spent a fair amount of time on the game. I also exchanged a few e-mails with a girl I went to high school with, and that was a real treat! I remember being truly enamored with her in school, she was cooler than cool, had punk hair, drove a pink car (Farelane maybe) and brought me photos of Adam Ant she had taken at a concert. I still have them somewhere. She was everything I didn’t have the balls to be - and oh how I admired her for it. It was like getting a response to a fan letter - and yeah, I’m a sap - heh.
Really a fine (though busy) weekend that has rolled into what promises to be a very busy week because everything I didn’t do is still waiting for me, its just taller or dirtier than it was. I’ll leave you with a pic of two bags and a bunny that set sail to new homes today, and I hope your weekend was as fine as mine!
* I can say this without being conceited, because although I believe I’m a better than average cook there are some things that elude me - deviled eggs being one!
